LOST TIME

I thought I would finally share a few of my experiences.
To the best of my knowledge, I've never been abducted. At least I can't recall having been. In the early 1970's I had two blocks of missing time. Back then, I was young and very healthy with no physical problems that would contribute to these blackouts.

The first time this happened, I was driving home at about 2:00 am on a warm Saturday morning from St. Cloud, MN to Osseo, a northern suburb of Minneapolis. I was traveling along Highway 10, a rather secluded stretch of road at the time. When I turned the corner to my house, I suddenly became aware of my surroundings. Then I realized that I couldn't remember driving home. It's like when you're the passenger and you fall asleep only to wake up when you've reached your destination.

That's a total of about fifty miles. I even had a friend with me. I looked over at him and he was sound asleep. I woke him and told him that I couldn't remember driving home. He started laughing at me, thinking I was pulling his leg. When I finally got him to believe me, he became just as freaked out as I was. He couldn't remember anything. We just assumed he fell asleep listening to the radio. I never thought of checking the time, now, I wish I would have.
I had another occurrence of missing time within a few months of that episode. This time I lost the whole weekend from Friday night on. When I got up and went to work on Monday morning, I didn't think anything of it until someone asked me what I did over the weekend. I stood there embarrassed thinking to myself, what did I do, what did I do?... all I could say was, "I don't know, I can't remember!" I'm glad my boss didn't ask me that question:) To this very day, I still can't remember.

Back then, for weeks and weeks, I tried like hell to remember what I did, but I couldn't. The friends I hung out with on the weekends didn't see me either.
All I know is that to this day, I haven't had anymore blackouts. Maybe I was abducted and I just don't know it. It's a scary thought, but I guess anything is possible. Especially from what I've read over the last few of years.

Here's a couple of unexplained sightings I've witnessed:
When I was a kid, I played in little league baseball. It was one of those gray cloudy days and I was standing near the third base line. All of a sudden, this spherical object (about the size of a baseball) with a blue/green gaseous glow to it, flew over my head at a high rate of speed with this whizzing kind of fizzing sound.

I could just see it coming from the right side with my peripheral vision. As it passed over my head, I turned to my left and watched as it continued on it's trajectory and then disappeared. For all I know it may have been a plasma ball or something similar. I really have no idea what it was. I can still remember seeing it in my mind, almost as if it were yesterday.

Another time, about three and a half years ago, during one bright blue cloudless summer afternoon, I was driving eastward at about 60 mph on the northern outskirts of Minneapolis. Off to my left, I seen a bright, flat white (not shiny) cylindrical, cigar shaped object in the sky. It appeared to be flying in the same eastward direction. I couldn't see a tail section or wings, and there were no markings of any kind. At arms length, its size was about the thickness of a toothpick (the square, rounded kind) and about one half inch long. It left no contrail. It was about 45 degrees above the horizon to the north and I watched it for a total of about fifteen seconds.

I took my eyes off of it maybe three times. Each time for only a fraction of a second. Just long enough to glance at the road ahead. Every time I looked back, I could easily spot the craft, noticing the ground structures below and using them as a reference point. Then, within a split second, it disappeared. For the next fifteen to twenty seconds, I continued to scan the sky using those same ground structures as my reference, but it was nowhere to be found. Gone without a trace. It either vanished into another dimension or sped off at an extremely high rate of speed that no known military or commercial aircraft is capable of doing. Unfortunately, I didn't have a passenger to witness the event.
